Happy Saturday! Brrr… it’s cold here today (I thought this was supposed to be Florida?), and we’re about to head over to our old place to finish the cleaning process so we can be officially moved out. That’s probably the thing I hate most about moving: having to clean your old place when you’re still …

Happy Saturday! I always feel like I have to “pay” for a long weekend, and this week was a doozy at work. Nevertheless, we made it! This weekend is all about finalizing everything for my trip to Europe with Michael next weekend. I’m beyond excited but I’m also feeling a little anxious, as this is …
One Travel Uniform, Three Ways: Stay Stylish and Comfortable from Gate to 10,000 Feet
